Hi everyone
Just wanted to update you on my son. He doesn't have much energy yet, and he's very depressed. He had been on zoloft before he went to the county prison. While he was there, I tried to get them to give him his anti-depressant but he never got it. After several attempts, I stopped when a friend said he might be better off without it because it can lead to suicide, and with being taken off nicotine, caffeine, and heroin he was dealing with a LOT! He said that he felt he needed it again about 2 nights before Christmas but he hasn't been back on it long enough to help yet.
His girlfriend decided to wean herself off the methadone treatment by going every other day for a week, then cold turkey. She was in a LOT of pain and he felt so helpless because she was 2 1/2 hours away visiting family for Christmas. I am concerned for the two of them to be together because they are both so vulnerable right now, but he's almost 29 years old.....I have no choice. He told me he feels like he has no life right now without her. Please continue to pray for him and his girlfriend to stay strong and clean.
I have a picture of my family at Christmas. If you'd like a copy sent to you, send your email address to devangreb@aol.com. I'd like to see pictures of you guys too if you have them on here. Thanks again!
Love,
Susan

Please do not be concerned about the Zoloft. The risk that you are talking about is minimal, but the advantages are great. Zoloft has been around a lot longer than many of the newer antidepressants and has been tested a lot more, so I feel safer about that drug than many of the other ones out there. I was on it for 2 years in the mid 1990's and the only side effects I really had were sexual ones and indifference towards things.... I have been on many different A.D. and Zoloft worked the best for me (I get back on it from time to time when I need to).
The last time I was on it, the main reason I got off of the drug was because it blocked the euphoria from the hydrocodone..... now I see that as a good thing and something that might work well with your son.
Good luck..... and don't forget to send me that picture....
